Years have dragged <br />After you left your footprints <br />On my heart’s barren surface, <br />The mark of love <br />Has remained imprinted <br />Covered by the dust of my idle days; <br /> <br />All my hours have altered <br />Into a life of verse <br />As my feelings dance on fickle lines, <br />Magic of your love in my dreams <br />Follow me into this world <br />Each time I play music in my flute; <br /> <br />When I look out <br />Through the window of times prison <br />I can only see your shadow <br />Cast by my memories, <br />Where do you live today? <br />When will we meet again? <br />What spell holds you captive? <br />Bound by the shackles of life’s spate; <br /> <br />As each day fades, I keep feeling <br />That I miss you more than ever <br />When I have just a yesterday <br />To dream of in a solitary life <br />While every bird in your garden <br />Hums the tune of my love for you; <br /> <br />I want to be born again and again <br />To spend endless days, writing like this <br />When will I die to be born again <br />To live this same life of love <br />Will we ever meet again <br />Before the light fades <br />In this life of reborn love.<br /><br />Abhay Vignesh Liginlal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-the-light-fades/
